The Crow Harvest

Synopsis:

The Crow Harvest are a Thieves Guild which is spread throughout Algorath's criminal underbelly. Typically, they work for several other guilds through different means of trade and sale. Finding them is considered extremely difficult, even for other Thieves. No one knows who or what their ultimate goal is, but many people are terrified to say the name, as they are rumored to steal the fur off of a woke bear. Typically, it is the wealthy that find themselves losing many of their valuables.
The Crow Harvest is primarily made up of ex-military members, poor individuals, or the occasional thrill seeker.

Core Beliefs:

The Crow Harvest may be Thieves, but they do not kill unless it is necessary.
The Crow Harvest does not steal from one another, and can recognize a member by how their hands are. Typically, a Crow Harvest member has a scar on the top of their left hand that is unnoticeable unless someone knows to look for it.
The Crow Harvest steals both legal and illegal items.
All stolen goods go through the Guild, which takes a %20 cut of all appraised pieces. The remainder is then sold through the Gray/Black Market respectively. Once sold to them, the Thief which stole them takes a %80 cut.

Gear:

The Crow Harvest provides numerous pieces of illegal gear which can be purchased such as:
- Smokebombs (15 GP): As a bonus action, a user can throw this item into the ground, creating a dense cloud of smoke in a 30ft radius centered at where it was thrown. The area is considered heavily obscured. The user may also decide to use their bonus action and reaction to throw 2 more bombs, making the radius 120ft.
- Crow Hook (450 GP): Grappling hook, range 250ft, finesse. This grappling hook is compacted to look like a rod which hides under the wrist inside a glove. It has a simple auto-pull system which allows a user to automatically climb up without having to make a check. The user must pick a target, such as a ledge, and make a ranged attack against it's AC to lock it in place. Once done, as a bonus action, it can be activated to pull them up. If attempting to pull something towards them, the item must make a DC 15 Athletics check. The system has a max capacity of 250lbs otherwise. You have one arm free, and one hand free as you do this, and can use a bonus action to stop at any point during movement on your turn. Otherwise, you keep moving towards the spot at a rate of 30ft per round. If you are latched onto a creature, the creature is pulled at a rate of 15ft per round, and can attempt to make a DC 15 athletics check to attempt to escape at the end of their turn.

Armor of Shadow Sneaking (25,000): For highest ranking member, this armor (studded leather +1) gives expertise on stealth checks when out of bright light. As well, it also gives advantage on stealth checks.

Glass Powder (4 GP): A refined powder which can be thrown into the face of an enemy. Target makes a melee attack with the powder (reach 5ft), finesse, 1d4 piercing damage. On a hit, the target must make a DC 15 constitution save. On a failed save, the target is blinded, and can attempt to make the save again at the end of its turn.

As well, heavily obscured items such as Darkness, or Fog do not inhibit your ability to interact with an object that has a heat source. If the item or creature does not produce heat, then interacting with it is the same as if you were blind.
Whenever you use the contacts again before taking a long rest, you must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or gain one level of exhaustion.

Grand Strategy:

The Crow Harvest work as a collective, with the belief that anyone can turn their lives around, no matter how bad, they just need to bend the rules a little. They care for their members, and understand that a betrayal means a fate worse than death awaits them. They also worship Tiralesk; the God of Thievery and Shadow.
